113 Congress Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201
The three-story, 1862 Old Law Tenement building at 113 Congress Street in Cobble Hill, currently owned by Verna Holder, is undergoing significant construction activity as evidenced by numerous recent permit filings and violations. Most notably, there are two active ECB violations from November 2024 related to unauthorized horizontal and vertical enlargement work, with one imposing a $5,000 penalty.
The building has a concerning pattern of rodent issues, with recent incidents in 2024 showing rat activity in April, though it passed subsequent inspections in June 2024 and earlier inspections in 2022 and 2018. Bedbug reporting requirements have generated multiple violations between 2021 and 2023, though the most recent filing for 2023-2024 indicates no infested units.
The property has experienced several construction-related enforcement actions, including multiple Construction Safety Compliance (CSC) actions in late 2024, with at least one requiring an Oath Violation. While some historical complaints and violations were dismissed or resolved, including a stop-work order from 2022 that was fully rescinded in 2023, the current open violations and recent construction activity warrant attention.
